Automated Infantry Mortar System (AIMS)

Automated Infantry Mortar System (AIMS)

The AIMS is a modern, vehicle-mounted 81 mm mortar solution designed to give infantry units faster, more accurate, and more reliable indirect fire support. Built around automation and digital controls, AIMS reduces the physical workload on soldiers while significantly improving the speed and precision of firing missions.

AIMS automatically handles key tasks such as system deployment, aiming, and fire-control inputs allowing crews to operate more efficiently and respond quickly during complex missions. Its integration with high-mobility platforms ensures that the system can rapidly move, fire, and redeploy, improving survivability in dynamic battlefield environments.

With an effective firing range of over 5 km, proven global mortar-carrier design principles, and compatibility with modern digital fire-control and vehicle-mounted integration systems, AIMS delivers dependable performance even in challenging terrains or contested electromagnetic environments.

How AIMS Helps

Faster Response

Automated aiming and digital fire control reduce setup time and allow quick engagement of targets.

Higher Precision

Automation improves accuracy and consistency, enabling effective support for infantry operations.

Reduced Crew Workload

The system requires fewer manual steps, making operations easier and safer for soldiers.

Superior Mobility

Vehicle-mounted design enables rapid “shoot-and-scoot” movement, increasing survivability.

Mission Readiness

Performs reliably in rugged terrain and harsh, contested environments.
